Lost 2021

Professor Carlson is with his leading lady Amy Carlson at the Strand in Galveston celebrating a Christmas past.

Larry Carlson’s recent article captures the winning spirit of the injury-prone 1971 football team.

Larry says “Nobody could foresee the torrent of injuries that rained down that spring on the Horns. Ten-plus players sustained spring football injuries that required surgery. One player, the standout LB/FB Vacura, a Minnesota product, sustained such a debilitating knee injury that his gridiron days were, tragically, over before they had begun.”

“The injury bug of the spring, as it turned out, would become a veritable plague of locusts that would ravage the roster come autumn. Never before or since 1971 have so many key performers been felled or substantially slowed by injuries.”

November 2017, Benny Pace and Billy Dale toasted the completion of the TLSN 501 (C) (3). TLSN’s mission is to help qualifying former longhorns who have fallen through society’s safety net. The organization, as a tax-exempt, has supported three former student-athletes with an average grant of $15,000. The precursor to the TLSN tax-exempt (LSG) helped nine former student-athletes with an average check of $12,000.
